Great overview. Sometimes you just have to throw some stuff at the wall where new technology is concerned. Example: I just recommended that a specialty automotive client get active on a car enthusiast’s social check-in site/app. They’re out and about all the time so they’ll check in with photos of cars they’re test driving, delivering, and exploring with a simple final call to action: Call us for your hassle-free test drive and new car lease.

Will let you know how that turns out!

Couldn’t agree more, Amy.

Instead of Foursquare, Gowalla and others making it attractive to the geek crowd (who’d probably already know about it anyway), concert the efforts on raising awareness with smaller, hyper-local business.

Since, despite what we may believe in the social space, that’s where a lot of everyday business still happens.

Hi Danny & Friends,

I love FourSquare and think it is grossly underutilized. You will never get the adoption up, though, until the stores start getting creative with it. I love the idea of the swarm party. It took me ages to get the mayorship of my local grocery store but they probably don’t even know that I was fighting to get it. I just wanted a mayorship and I am not an “out on the town” kinda gal so my grocery store was my best bet. Good for a free chicken wing or two would be nice…assuming they’re fresh.

Agreed, fella.

The problem with just rewarding the Mayor is that soon you get fed up of trying to oust someone, so you give up on checking into that location.

Which kinda seems to defeat the purpose of trying to encourage check-ins and outlet awareness to begin with…
